Papercraft Star 31

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥


Today's Papercraft Star Challenge has us working with one of Liz Chidester's sketches !

This month we are sponsored by Copics (wow!) and My Favorite Things, (another wow!)

The flower here is made by a flower stamp (Boho Blossoms) from My Favorite Things. It was stamped on ivory cardstock, then fussy cut. I twirled the petals around an awl, poked a pretty brad through it, and a beautiful flower appeared ! Isn't it gorgeous. One really wonderful thing about this stamp set is that it has a "negative" image of this flower too, along with "positive" and "negative" hearts. I know I will be showing you the hearts later on this month.

I have had these stamps in my possession now for a couple of months, and it was all I could do to hold them back for their February appearance at Papercraft Star.

The plate is distressed with pink distress stickles, and lavender liquid pearls.

There are some great prizes at Papercraft Star this month - be sure you have linked up so you have the opportunity to win one of them ! This week, well every week I should say, entries close at noon (Eastern US) on Saturday, and voting begins, with our weekly winner(s) announced on

  7. I love the soft colors of your card, Jan. The little pop of pink is lovely! And i love the flower you made! I think that is the niftyest ( is that even a real word?) stamp because you can turn it into something third dimensional!
